Critics say there could be consequences for not seeking penalties under Montana’s “bad actors” law.
Montana Department of Environmental Quality Director Chris Dorrington says the state dropped its case against Hecla Mining Company after three years in court because the cost of litigating the case wasn’t worth the likely outcome.

MISSOULA â The head of the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is stressing the state will go after bad actors who leave behind pollution and mine waste.
But Chris Dorrington feels it s best to pin enforcement on legislative reform, rather than a single case.

MISSOULA â Environmental and conservation groups, and some tribal leaders, are saying they re deeply disappointed with the Gianforte administration for deciding not to use a recent ruling to press bad actors to clean up mine waste.
A Gianforte spokesperson said the governor is simply empowering state agencies to act as they see fit.
The question first came up in 2018, when the Bullock administration, through the Montana Department of Environmental Quality, faulted Hecla Mining President and CEO Phillip Baker Jr. for his involvement in the ill-fated Pegasus Gold operations in the Little Rocky Mountains. That company went bankrupt 20-years ago, leaving behind cyanide and other contamination at Zortman, which costs the state $2 million per year. ....

DEQ drops 'bad actor' claim against Hecla exec

In a reversal, Montanaâs Department of Environmental Quality wonât press for âbad actorâ sanctions against Hecla Mining Co. executive Phillips Baker for leaving unfinished reclamation work on several past gold mines.
